Product Introduction
Zenoxa OD 450 Tablet SR is a medicine used to manage and prevent epilepsy by controlling seizures. It does not completely cure epilepsy but helps to prevent seizure episodes as long as you continue taking it regularly.
This medicine can be prescribed alone or in combination with other anti-epileptic medicines. Your doctor will determine the correct dose and frequency based on your condition, and the dose may be increased gradually. It can be taken with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day for maximum effectiveness. It usually takes a few weeks before you notice improvement. It is important not to miss doses as skipping them may increase the risk of seizures. Stopping this medicine suddenly may worsen your condition and must be avoided.
Some common side effects include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, tiredness, drowsiness, imbalance while walking, and low sodium levels in the blood. These side effects are generally mild and temporary. However, if you experience skin rashes or redness, seek medical attention immediately as it could be a sign of a rare but serious condition called Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Prolonged use of this medicine may weaken the bones, increasing the risk of fractures. Some patients may experience mood changes or suicidal thoughts, so inform your doctor if you notice any changes in mood or behavior.
Before starting this medication, let your doctor know if you have a history of heart, liver, or kidney issues, difficulty in urination, depression, or suicidal tendencies. Certain medicines may interact with Zenoxa OD 450 Tablet SR, so provide a complete list of medications you are currently taking. If you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant, consult your doctor before starting or stopping this medicine. Alcohol consumption should be avoided as it can increase side effects and seizure risk. Regular blood tests may be required to monitor your response to treatment.
